Challenge
A month off alcohol is easier with company. Pick any 30 days (January and October are popular) and tick each alcohol-free day together.
If you drink heavily or every day, talk to a doctor before you stop suddenly, because alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Streako is a habit tracker, not a treatment or support service. If you are worried about your drinking, a doctor or a local alcohol support service can help.
Tick the day each evening if you had no alcohol. Agree as a group whether alcohol-free beers and wines are allowed.
Only days inside the challenge dates count towards the leaderboard. Forgot? Log up to 7 days back, honestly.
A slip is not the end. Record what really happened and carry on tomorrow.
Most completed days wins. Ties share a place.
A month is long enough to notice how you feel without alcohol, and short enough to commit to. Many people use it as a reset after a busy season, or simply to find out how much of their drinking is habit rather than choice.
Doing it with friends changes the social side. When the people you usually drink with are doing it too, Friday night becomes a plan to make rather than a test of willpower.
This is a personal challenge, not treatment. For anyone who drinks heavily or daily, stopping suddenly can be dangerous, so speak to a doctor before you start.
Week 1
Clear the house and plan your swaps: a soft drink you actually like, tea in the evening, a walk where the after-work drink used to be.
Week 2
Plan for the first big social event. Decide what you will order before you arrive, and tell one person your plan.
Week 3
Notice what has changed. A mood and a short note on each check-in make it easy to look back on how the month felt.
Week 4
Finish the month, then decide what comes next. Some people keep a few alcohol-free days a week as a regular habit.
FAQ
No. Dry January is a campaign run by the charity Alcohol Change UK, and Streako is not affiliated with or endorsed by it. This page is an independent alcohol-free month you can run with friends at any time of year.
That is up to your group. Agree before you start and write it in the challenge description so everyone plays by the same rules.
No. Streako tracks a daily Yes / No habit, so you see completed days, your streak and your completion rate rather than a days-since counter.
Please talk to a doctor or a local alcohol support service. Streako can help you track a habit, but it is not a treatment or support service.
